A band Of thirty head Of draft horses,

ter on hay and carrots, attest the fat
tening qualities Of such feed. The
horses came out in good working con-

That the plain intent OF the LegisIa-
ture ia passing the woman suffrage act
was to confer the right OF suffrage upon
the women Of Washington Territory,
every sane man, woman and child IN
the Territory knows: that the act was
sufficiently plain and explicit for all 70
know what was intended, all well
know; that the act was declared in
valid upon the most flimsy pretext Of
a technieality Is as certain as anything
can be- that the decision rendering the
act imperative was prompted not from
motives fav0ring the enforcement Of
Law, but rather to defeat the plain in
tent OF the law, thousands OF honest,
earnest people believe, and have good
reasons for 30 believing.
Anything and everything that tends
10 bring our laws into contempt Is an

to the disregard OF law. Nothing has
ever occurred in the Territory that has
80 shaken the confidence Of our people
in the efficacy OF the law as this ten
dency toward technical application Of
our laws. What matters the difference
II one Is robbed Of his rights under
4 col0r Of law or IN bold defiance Of law /;
the first IS cowardly and mean. and 10
my mind just as repFehensible as the
latter; the result Is all the same in
either event.
While these " Talks" are not intend
ed 10 be political IN their bearing, new
ertheless ! would wish 10 bring home
TO the farmers, and farmers wives and
daughters. this question, which is more
than politicAl-it concerns the home.
The conservative element Of the
country homes Is acknowledged BY all
thinking minds as the safety Of this
nation. Everything that tends 10 give
that element more voice in the govern
ment Is in the direction of q more or
DERBY, less vicious and more enduring
government. +. MEEKER.
